Re: Entry-level piping-related careers? Advice requested

I'm sure this may not be what you want to hear/read, but these are my suggestions that are being offered honestly, in earnest, and unvarnished (if you will).

As I'm sure you've gathered, there's...

Re: Piper in The Crown Season 4

I’ve found that film directors have very little little patience for representing various disciplines accurately ... particularly semi-obscure ones such as piping.

They are hyper-focused on...

Re: Equipment for video recording?

When it comes to “rules” ... some contests say they want video to be “unedited.” Others will simply say performances must be “one take.” It seems to me, these two statements are meant to mean the...

Re: Equipment for video recording?

When it comes to the samples on my site, I wouldn’t dare do multiple angles for a competition. Those are done so families/clients can get an impression of my playing etc. Two different views makes...

Re: Constructive Criticism for Pipers

Yeah .. I feel this sometimes can be the bad side of competitiveness. People don't get the placings they want, and they get all upset or vindictive in some inane manner. Judge doesn't like me, that...

Re: Your first piobaireachd and who taught you it

My first was MacGregor's Salute, though the learning process was a little unorthodox, to say the least. It was initially learned by ear (and indirectly) through Mr. Jim McGillivray's site,...

Re: Cleaning up old pipes?

I'd contact Ringo Bowen. He can advise you on the best course of action, and is an all-around great guy.

Re: Stolen smallpipes in Tucson, AZ

I'm unsure. As far as I'm aware, the authorities around Tucson are working on that. From what I'm told, the Ebay poster is cooperating ... so I would imagine they're working to determine where he got...

Re: Curious eBay smallpipe

As mentioned in the other thread, the Ebay post is down at last!! So thrilled with this outcome—it’s all too rare that things work out this way.

Actually, I posted about this on another thread. They are a set that was stolen from a friend’s car five months ago. And yes, the pipes were made by EJ. One of the chanters is made by Rob Felsburg,...

Re: Pipers in the Watertown / Boston area (Massachusetts)

Definitely check out the Canadian American Club there in Watertown, as was mentioned. It’s a nice little hidden gem. Lots of get-togethers relating to Scottish and Celtic music there.

Re: I LOVE my bagpipes

I too have a set of Gibsons that I played for many years, and I do...
